Answer: The sum will be close to 1/4
Explanation:
You can start by making the fractions have the same denominator, (8*6) which gets you 48
You then want to use the butterfly method, so 1/8 becomes 6/48 and 1/6 becomes 8/48. You then add these up to 14/48.
12/48 is 1/4, and 14/48 is close to 12/48, thus making the answer the first option.
